5 Easy DIY Projects Using Coconut Oil

January 3, 2014 by Susan Bewley

As some of you know, I love cooking with coconut oil. I personally think it adds a fantastic flavor to most dishes and has a some awesome health benefits.  Even though I haven’t talked about it much, I also love making soap and a variety of other beauty products. It is one of my little hobbies I love doing to relax, and it makes me happy knowing I am making products that are not only natural, but I can completely control.  Knowing that some of you love making things like me, I thought I would include some spiffy products I discovered recently that I thought would be perfect for anyone who wants to experiment with coconut oil! Feel free to tell me what you think of these 5 Easy DIY Projects Using Coconut Oil!

    I made a brown sugar scrub and gave several of them as Christmas presents to my friends. I love the ingredients in the Homemade Coconut Salt Scrub and I want to make some for myself. I pinned it & the Coconut Sugar Scrub and would like to make that as well. Thank you for the easy tutorial and recipes.
